Thanks very much to all of you -- while I don't hope for a quick solution, because this obsession has been with him since before we met in 1988, I just would like to see a de-escalation because it's...
Oh, I think that sums it all up pretty well We went to a counselor once but that was for his ADHD symptoms and while the other issues he had were attempted to be discussed, things got out of hand...
I was trying to be a little vague, I guess for the sake of simplicity and identity because of how complicated it is -- yes I am very close to this person and it affects me intensely because I am...
others in their life, does that still qualify as something in the realm of OCD? Or is it an addiction? And what role does anxiety play -- especially if the more anxious one is the more one desires...
My 12yo takes Advair, albeit sporadically and I always thought there was less of an impact on growth for the inhaled steroids than the systemic ones. But then again, I'm not a doctor. Turns out my...
If you were taking Abilify, and you didn't really need it because the symptoms that caused it to be prescribed for you were being corrected by another medication, how would it affect you? I ask...

Thanks to all for your comments. He emailed me today to let me know it happened again at 3:30am and 7am today. Then again twice at work this morning. He was not standing up or exercising, just...
DH's GP thinks he might be suffering from panic attacks. I'd like to know what the collective wisdom here thinks. It's a bit of a mini-novel, so if you've got the time, thanks in advance for hearing...
